The Freedesktop.org and X.org wikis have long been plagued with
lots and lots of spam. Alan Coopersmith has been doing a heroic
effort keeping it at bay, but it's been a manual effort and not really
something to rely on, long-term. I've now created an EditGroup on
both the wikis and any pages which do not otherwise have ACLs
associated with them are now only editable by members of the
EditGroup. The group can manage itself, so either ask an existing
member or ask on #freedesktop on IRC and we'll add you.

I'd like to apologise for needing to take this step, but the spam
problem is bad enough that it's unfortunately needed.
